The City wished to gather information on the local impacts of COVID-19 and seek consulting support to develop and implement a survey of community members and a survey of local businesses. The surveys were intended to gather information for two primary purposes: 1. Enable City leadership to focus the use of existing resources, including grant dollars, for the benefits of the community. 2. Gather data to strengthen the City’s future proposals for grant dollars to address local needs and/or hardships caused by COVID-19. The project team would identify key project goals including the learning objectives of the outreach to community members and businesses. Berk confirmed project roles, points of contact, and communication preferences. Following the meeting, Berk would develop an updated statement of project goals and learning objectives. The task also included management of engagement efforts for both surveys. Discussion took place. No action was taken. 3.
